Punters have been betting Trump big time according to Ladbrokes and Sportsbet who will make a fortune if Trump loses. Realistically they should balance the books but they are taking on the punters. Some confidence there.

A recap of the first 4 seasons of "The Trump Show"
The US election is here, so let's recap the first four seasons of ratings winner The Trump Administration
It's hard to believe there have been only four seasons of The Trump Administration. It feels like 10.
The political thriller from the creator of Survivor follows a fish-out-of-water president (Donald J Trump, from NBC's The Apprentice) whose White House is dogged by one scandal after another.
Now, as we wait to see whether the show will be renewed for another four seasons, let's re-examine some of the twists and turns of this ratings winner.
This article is a tongue-in-check accounting of four years of the Trump Administration, told in the style of a television recap.

The COVID crisis in the now out of control. Regardless of the election result the Trump administration will still in power until Jan 20th - 11 weeks away. On current trends COVID infections and deaths would be running at 2-3 times the present situation.
On the day before the US election, the coronavirus pandemic is the worst it has ever been in the country

As Trump's D-Day arrives, America's coronavirus 'wildfire' is the worst it has been
Donald Trump has declared dozens of times that coronavirus will simply "go away". But now, in the week that voters cast their judgement on the record of the President, the pandemic is, on many measures, worse than it has ever been, writes Casey Briggs.

This article sums up the problem with a hood winked media IMO.
www.smh.com.au
From the article:
Russel sums this up: "They are rejoicing in the strategic window of opportunity that Trump has created, and they are barrelling right through it." But what would a Biden administration do differently should he win? From his years of working with Biden, Russel expects that he'd "put priority on gathering America's strength", in the first instance through economic recovery. Next would come rebuilding alliances and partnerships: "He is not going to deal with China in a vacuum. An organising principle of a Biden administration would be not mindless China bashing but common cause" with US friends and allies.
He would seek to mobilise the multilateral system in common cause with allies and like-minded nations, rather than Trump's withdrawal from key institutions. "For most of the world, it would feel like America had returned to normal."
Should he win, Biden would engage with China on three levels, Russel posits. One would be deterring Beijing's aggression where it threatens the US or its allies. As examples, he cites the penetration of sensitive scientific research and cyberattack. Another level would be on issues that could be managed, such as dealing with China's law enforcement or its supply of the opiate fentanyl.
A third level would be co-operation where the two powers have common interests. Climate change is the prime example.
So that's how they are going to improve a US/China trade imbalance of $600billion to $100billion and climbing, best of luck with that, my guess is boat people will be going from Australia to Thailand in 50 years.
Why Trump has become China's enemy ... with benefits
Even Donald Trump's political enemies agree that he has hurt the Xi regime. But he has also created a "strategic window" of opportunity for China to expand its influence.

Sharp little prophecy of the US election result..
We Sent A Reporter To The Future To Find Out Who Wins The US Election
It’s Trump, sorry. But it may not be as bad as you think. Read our American reporter’s account of the first year of Trump’s second term.
“Like a lot of people, I was sceptical about a second Trump term. The total disintegration of the American ideal under Trump’s watch had made me start to at least entertain the idea that he might not be the tremendous leader he claims to be. So when Biden won the popular vote, as well as the Electoral College vote at the November election, I’ll admit, I was quietly excited about a new direction for our nation.
But that was before it came to light that the Democrats had rigged the election using a sophisticated mail-in ballot scam masterminded from the basement of a pizza shop in Washington DC. The New York Times and CNN said it wasn’t true. But from what I saw on Facebook, the evidence was pretty clear.
The outcome of the re-run election was – thankfully for our democracy – much clearer, with ninety-seven percent of the nation voting for Trump. No doubt the pesky New York Times would have questioned the veracity of that result too. If it was still legal for them to operate.
Since then, I’ve got to say, life’s been pretty good. The economy is booming apparently, healthcare is widely available for all wealthy people who need it, and since testing was stopped last December, the coronavirus has been completely eradicated.
There’s been a real focus on social justice too. The White Lives Matter protests that started in March have really shone a light on some of the lesser known injustices faced by Trump and his donors. Who knew just how discriminatory some of those conflict-of-interest laws actually were.
For women, the new law that forbids them from driving was a blow. But the new uterus register has actually turned out to be much more efficient than anyone imagined.
And while the compulsory Russian classes on Thursday nights can be a drag, as I’ve said before – если это стоит делать, то стоит делать хорошо.
There have been some downsides. My phone doesn’t work as well now that all the 5G towers have been removed. And I’ve missed my Muslim friends more than I expected. But these are minor things.
I’m right behind President Trump and our future presidents Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jnr and Baron Trump. As they say at the compulsory rallies “Forty more years!”
